Collectors' Concerns

Handel Style Lamp

August 25, 2021

Q: I have a lamp with a glass shade that was my grandmother’s. I’m guessing it would have been purchased around 1920. There are no markings on it anywhere. It is 22 inches tall and the shade is 16 inches in diameter. There are two light bulb sockets and chain pulls. Can you tell me anything about it and what it might be worth?
